USA vs. Uruguay | Copa America preview & predictions | USMNT's must-win Group C finale (Soccer 6/29) Jun 29, 2024

Show notes

The pressure is on Gregg Berhalter’s side like never before. Fail to beat Uruguay and any hopes of the Stars and Stripes advancing to the knockout stage look extremely unlikely. Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola look ahead to Monday’s do-or-die clash and try to predict how Marcelo Bielsa might line out. And with a lackluster slate of friendlies on the horizon, is the Copa America the USMNT’s last serious test before the World Cup? And will Gregg Berhalter still be in charge for that cycle? The guys discuss what needs to happen to beat Uruguay, Jesse Marsch’s first win as Canada coach, and the current Copa America power rankings.
